The strength of this Saintess has reached the Nascent Soul Peak. She is a very young Saintess.
A year later, Qin Changqing saw her in the Qin Mansion.
Her name was Dark Moon, and though she had a petite figure, she was incredibly explosive.
With this, it seems like Youyue also planned to fleece the Heavenly Demon with her.
This was not bad; there could be an extra helping hand around Youyue.
With Qin Changqing’s charm, Dark Moon had taken a strong liking to him just a month after her arrival.
Then, one night, Qin Changqing pulled her into a secret room.
For a witch, as long as she does not resist, there’s no need for any slow wooing trom Qin Changqing.
He quickly impregnated Dark Moon.
Although it’s now more difficult for Qin Changqing to produce offspring, in the following decades, Dark Moon still bore him four children.
One of them had a pretty good spiritual root, a third-grade heavenly spiritual root, and even a fire spiritual root.
This was also a heterogeneous spiritual root. When cultivating fire attribute methods, the speed was on par with a second-grade spiritual root, and the power of fire-related techniques would be even greater.
Qin Changqing successfully helped Dark Moon remove the demon seal.
Like Youyue, Dark Moon also managed to control her Demon Seal.
Now, the Heavenly Demon would probably be completely exploited.
Everything was peaceful during these decades.
Qin Changqing quietly progressed in his cultivation.
His cultivation level was still rising.
He hadn’t increased his physical cultivation level yet, Qin Changqing was mainly focusing on alchemy, artifact refining, and array formation.
Things like Fu Lu were all placed at the back for now, waiting to be dealt with after reaching the integration realm.
Next, he would continue to progress in silence.
Qin Changqing would sometimes take in one or two An, but now he focuses on quality.
Requirements were set for appearance, cultivation level, and spiritual root.
Of course, these were not hard rules, sometimes feelings mattered more.
If he took a liking to someone, even if that person was a mortal, Qin Changqing would still be willing.
Exactly like Tao Yao, who always kept Qin Changqing enthralled.
Every once in a while, Qin Changqing would visit her.
Tao Yao was proficient in qin chess, calligraphy, and painting. Since she couldn’t cultivate, she spent a lot of time learning these things. However, she still hadn’t been able to carry Qin Changqing’s child.
Qin Changqing didn’t pay much mind to this.
Years later, the number of Qin Changqing’s descendants had once again broken one million.
The speed of reaching one million descendants this time was much faster than before.
A slew of large rewards came again, and Qin Changqing’s cultivation level advanced by a significant step once more.
The number of spiritual root descendants wasn’t increasing as quickly.
When the number of descendants reached a certain level, it would continually grow exponentially.
Although as the generations pass, the rewards become fewer, the reward will never become zero, there’s a minimum guarantee.
Like this, the continuously increasing number of descendants brought about an exceptionally rapid growth in Qin Changqing’s cultivation level.
One day, his little junior sister from his days in Taichu Sacred Land, Qin Yun, finally reached the nascent soul stage.
As for Qin Manyue, she had reached the nascent soul stage a long time ago.
Qin Changqing held a celebration for Qin Yun and spent several fun-filled nights with this junior sister of his.
Time carried on peacefully and leisurely.
This kind of life held its enjoyment for Qin Changqing.
Every day, he would research array formations, refining artifacts, and so on.
During his free time, he taught his descendants.
From time to time, he would visit North Sea, meeting up with Bai Ling and MO Lin.
He frequented the Shuiyue Sect as well.
There was also the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in the Southern Region, Liu
Xiaowan, a sweet young lady, made Qin Changqing come back again and again.
Within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, there were several female cultivators who became Qin Changqing’s concubines.
“Husband, we don’t have much contact with the South Sea, and we’ve only seen the South Sea Queen once. We’ve always been in a state of mutual non-interference,
One day, Liu Xiaowan said to Qin Changqing.
All these years, the South Sea Queen’s conch hadn’t made any sound for Qin Changqing.
He didn’t know what the situation was.
Without any announcement from others, it wasn’t like Qin Changqing could ask about it himself.
After all, he wasn’t particularly acquainted.
Liu Xiaowan was also in retreat; she was eager to reach Void Refinement.
This girl was utterly dedicated to Qin Changqing. She had told Qin Changqing the most core secret of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect—the method to create the Five Elements Spirit Dragon.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—these were the aspects of the Five Elements Spirit Dragon.
A singular Spirit Dragon doesn’t hold much power, and the needed resources for power increase are too numerous.
At most, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect can merge three elements; any more, and collapse becomes a likelihood.
The strongest Void Refining Spirit Dragon they currently have is composed of Earth, Water, and Wood elements.
Qin Changqing was interested in the Five Elements Spirit Dragon. However, strengthening the Five Elements Spirit Dragon requires a significant amount of time to gather elemental resources.
Qin Changqing can use array formations to collect elemental resources, which saves a considerable amount of time.
A waterfall in the Qin Mansion descended like a white ribbon.
Above it, Fairy Qin was performing a song for Qin Changqing.
Fairy Qin had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Her performance was pleasing to the eye.
“Husband, let Tao Yao perform a song for you too.
After nightfall, Tao Yao began her performance for Qin Changqing.
Tao Yao’s performance was also pleasing to the ear, yet when compared to Fairy Qin, it carried a different kind of significance.
Even though Tao Yao was seriously playing, her posture, her expression, even within her music, all naturally exuded a kind of enchanting charm.
It took hold of one’s heart.
And so, that night, Qin Changqing and this bewitching woman resumed their relations.
“Husband, Tao Yao wants to bear a child for you. But for some reason, my stomach shows no signs of pregnancy.”
The night deepened.
Tao Yao’s soft voice echoed.
Tao Yao wholeheartedly wanted to bear a child for Qin Changqing, but after all these years, there had been no signs.
Qin Changqing had checked her body, and there were no issues.
“Husband, could you check my body again, to see if anything is wrong?” Tao Yao requested.
After contemplating for a moment, Qin Changqing decided to inspect more thoroughly.
His true origin energy entered Tao Yao’s body.
The inspection yielded no noticeable issues.
However, Qin Changqing discovered an extraordinary aspect.
Tao Yao’s body was incredibly vibrant, as though her bone age was locked in place.
In other words, even if she didn’t consume the elixirs given by Qin Changqing, her body’s age might remain the same.
This wasn’t the effect of the Youth Retaining Pill.
The Youth Retaining Pill could only retain youthfulness and not stop the bone age from advancing.
Qin Changqing hadn’t noticed this before.
To a certain extent, bone age represents actual age. In the Immortal Gate, bone age is measured upon entry.
Locking the bone age is extremely difficult—even Sacred Lands might not be able to achieve such feats.
Qin Changqing couldn’t do it presently. He wondered how Tao Yao, a mere mortal, managed to accomplish it.
Upon this realization, Qin Changqing couldn’t help but look at Tao Yao next to him, puzzled.
In that regard, Tao Yao seemed quite special indeed.
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
Noticing the confusion on Qin Changqing’s face, Tao Yao asked.
“It’s nothing, Tao Yao, let me check again.”
Qin Changqing continued to scrutinize Tao Yao’s body.
After a thorough inspection, Qin Changqing confirmed his suspicion.
Indeed, Tao Yao’s bone age was locked in place.
Locking the bone age equates to halting the aging process.
No, there’s still the soul.
Bone age denotes the body’s age, but the divine soul also has an age.
The age of the divine soul usually parallels that of the body.
It might live slightly longer than the body, but for regular people, there isn’t much of a difference.
Because once a normal person’s body dies, their soul, without a vessel, will also disperse quickly..
